Hair Color Wednesday: A Cool How To Color Technique
I recently went to a hands on Redken Chromatics inspired color class and documented everything to share with you!
The class was great! They broke down the Redken Chromatics color line, giving stylists a ton a great tips and tricks, and all the need to know facts of what makes Chromatics unique; and the color line of the future. In case your not familiar with Chromatics check out our previous Blog HERE filled with all things Chromatics.
Once we learned about the color line we had a chance to dive in and get our “hands dirty” using the hair color. The class was designed to teach the students one of the premiere Chromatics looks from the inspiration book. Here is an inspirational shot:
Cool look right!? Well believe it or not the color technique was quite simple! Unfortunately for us we were working on mannequin heads, so the vibrancy in the color was limited, but the technique worked all the same!
So here is what we did!:
Vidal Sassoon Dies at 84
By now we are assuming you know this news. However, this post is more for the hurray! of Sassoon as opposed to the sadness.
Being a hair stylist blog if we didn’t post about “THE MAN” than what’s the point of posting anything. To say he wasn’t in some way shape or form an inspiration to you and your career than it’s basically a lie.
Sassoon paved the way for our entire industry and made a change with something as simple as a vision. That’s not only inspiring but it’s near impossible. Imagine changing an entire industry!
Back then, “we were creating something that was socially necessary,” Sassoon told the Los Angeles Times in 1993. “Women were going back to work, they were assuming their own power. They didn’t have time to sit under the dryer anymore.”
“Vidal Sassoon totally changed the world of hair and beauty. He was a complete maestro,” says one of the heirs to Sassoon’s celebrity stylist title, Oscar Blandi. “When I was in school learning the trade, I always took from his work to improve my own methods of styling. He was truly the most revolutionary person ever to enter into the industry. He paved the way for the celebrity stylists of today. … He had no fear. Vidal is the one who made me fall in love with my business because he showed the true art of styling.”
He made actresses iconic and created an entire culture from a simple hair cut. Usually the actors and actresses are inspiring us and cultivating the people, not the other way around. Sassoon accomplished more than anyone of us could only dream about in less than a lifetime; but the best part is he never really stopped.
As many of you know he was always present in his later years. He was always there to inspire, educate and change lives. Someone like this is never forgotten; they are beyond a brand, a name or an icon. In a huge way they are a priceless to our existence in time and we are grateful that during our time we had the ability to witness such inspiration!
For that he will live on forever and will always be passed down to generations and generations of hair stylists!
Please share your love for Sassoon with the comments!
New Feature! Cool Tools: The Pro Edge Comb – Make Your Hair Cuts Flawless
If your the type of person that loves learning about new gadgets, then we have great news for you!
We are starting a new feature on THSB were we will feature the new, “Cool Tools” of the trade. And just coming back from IBS New York Hair Show, we have tons of stuff to share with you!
This Cool Tool of the week?
We’ve Written About It, We’ve Seen It and We’re Pretty Sure You’ve Thought About It
What are we talking about? Waves!! Texture!! Movement!!!
Arrojo’s AMERICAN WAVE!
During our journey at IBS New York, we were determined to bring you a “modern day” perm, and what we found is so much more!
We have constantly been seeing texture and waves show up in Fashion Mags and on the Runway. Yet, there still seems to be the same old tools to get us there. That is where American Wave comes in. This product is extremely revolutionary and we were lucky enough to catch up with an Arrojo stylist to tell us all about it… and this is what we learned:
This is no ordinary product. It uses a revolutionary ionic based technology to create a modern day texture that can suit any girls desire.
By using it’s positively charged ionic technology on the hair’s negatively charged structure, American Wave breaks down the hairs chemical makeup giving you the desired texture without the harsh effects of a traditional perm.
In conjunction with the “hardware” (rods) known as “Bendies”, the result is as customizable as possible.
Also, forget about that stinky perm smell. This product has Zero Odor and the neutralizer is infused with Eucalyptus giving the hair an amazing finish with a smooth, shiny, polished surface.
As a stylist I am thrilled about this product! This is something we need to see coming back into the salon. Our guests (if they are not already) are going to be asking for this type of service, and it’s important that we give it to them and have the knowledge of the modern day perm. This new technology and innovation in hair fashion, will drive clients into the salon.
Hair Color Wednesday: Mad About Color Follow Up!
Last week we left you with a tease about a cool product called “Mad About Color” that we intended to find out about during our International Beauty Show trip… and here is what we learned!:
Mad About Color is a simple way to increase the vibrancy and longevity of your hair color. Taken from the concept of a “Direct Deposit” shampoo, Mad About Color gives you the technology you need to maximize your color results while enhancing your finishing and styling looks.
This revolutionary product will not only act as a enhancer, but is preventative from loss of tone and vibrancy as well. When using Mad About Color blow drying cream, from day 1 after a color application, your hair color will be extremely less likely to fade and/or loose its tonal quality.
